Well we did it! Ten brave 9xb team members battled against torrential rain and gale force winds to run, jump and slide over a very wet inflatable assault course, all in the name of charity. 9xb joined eight other teams from various local companies to take part in the Saint Michael's Hospice 'It's a Knockout!' competition last weekend. Not for the faint hearted, yellow bellied sort (like Mike, Paul, Alex, Nick or Martin - who all had 'excuses' why they couldn't take part!) the tougher characters at 9xb embraced the challenge and were led to victory by their team captain Rob.
Yes we won the tournament! And we've a trophy to prove it!!
We were incredibly cold, soaking wet, filthy dirty and covered in foam by the end of the event but much fun was had by all (although I preferred the refreshments in the pub afterwards the most).
